Lin Congyun walked around and thought about the valley in the deep forest. Should he go in and take a look?

However, she eventually gave up the idea.

After all, it was already late, and she didn't know what the situation was in the valley. If she went there rashly, it might be dangerous.

Let’s wait until the third brother comes back before making any plans.

Lin Congyun returned to the place where everyone was resting. Not long after he sat down, Fang Deyong came out from the corridor with Niu Daya.

"Mother, Second Sister-in-law and the others are fine now, but there are a few wounded people who need medicine." Fang Deyong said, paused, and then said, "Seventh Aunt said there is another way to get in, but that way is a bit roundabout and will take more time."

"It's better to spend more time than to just wait here." Hearing this, Lin Congyun immediately stood up and said, "Butler, let's go in through the passage first and give them some medicinal herbs. The third brother and Daya will lead everyone to come from another way."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and began to act according to Lin Congyun's instructions.

Lin Congyun and Wu Jinjie were the first to enter through the passage with the medicinal materials, while Fang Deyong and Niu Daya took the others to take a detour.

Half an hour later, Lin Congyun and Wu Jinjie finally arrived inside the cave.

The place is not big, but it is packed with people. When they saw Lin Congyun and Wu Jinjie come in, everyone gathered around them.

"Madam, you are finally here."

"Madam, did you bring in the herbs? Several of our villagers are injured."

Lin Congyun hurried to see the injured villagers and found that they were not seriously injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, we have brought the herbs in. Housekeeper, bring them here quickly."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinjie immediately took out all the medicinal herbs on him.

With the medicinal herbs, the atmosphere in the cave became a lot more relaxed.

Lin Congyun looked at the smiles on everyone's faces and felt relieved.

"By the way, where is my second son's wife?" Lin Congyun looked around and did not see Li Hongsui, so he couldn't help but ask.

Fang Xinlei, who was not far away, shouted, "Grandma, my mother went to the village to get medicine for me."

"What?" Lin Congyun hurried to Fang Xinlei's side, "She went out alone? Why didn't the third brother come out to tell me just now?"

Niu Qigu beside her said, "Don't worry, old lady. The second lady didn't go out alone. Someone followed her. And they have been out for a while. They should be back soon."

Fang Xinlei also spoke up: "When Third Uncle came in, my mother hadn't left yet."

Lin Congyun's brows did not relax when he heard this, "They have been out for a long time? Your mother is really something, knowing that we were coming in, why would she go out?"

"It's been almost half an hour." Niu Qigu said again, "We also tried to persuade her, but the Second Madam said that the medicine was more precious."

Lin Congyun felt uneasy. His second son's wife had been out for so long and hadn't come back yet. Could something have happened to her?

"No, I have to go out and take a look." Lin Congyun said, turning around and about to go outside.

"Madam, I'll go." Wu Jinjie saw this and said quickly, "You stay here. If the second lady and the others come back, they will be able to see them first."

Lin Congyun shook his head and said, "I'd better go. I don't feel comfortable if you go."

"Uh..." Wu Jinjie understood the meaning of this and didn't say anything else.

"Madam, do you want to bring a few more people with you?" Niu Qigu looked worried.

Lin Congyun glanced at the people in the cave and shook his head again, "I can do it alone."

"But, old lady, do you know the way?"

As soon as this question came up, Lin Congyun looked at Niu Qigu, "Qigu, tell me roughly the route from the cave to the village."

Seeing that Lin Congyun was so persistent, Niu Qigu didn't want to persuade him anymore and immediately told him the route.

Lin Congyun had a good memory and remembered it quickly. "Okay, I remember it. You guys wait here. I'll go out and take a look and come back soon."

After saying that, Lin Congyun turned around and walked out of the cave.

After coming out of the cave, Lin Congyun turned around and took a look at the cave entrance. No wonder this cave could hide people.

The entrance to the cave was covered with weeds and vines, which completely covered it. If someone hadn't led the way, others would probably not have been able to find their way here.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened. It was pitch black outside and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Lin Congyun could only grope his way forward.

I don’t know how long I walked, but Lin Congyun felt that they should be out of the forest soon, but there was still darkness in front of him and there was nothing.

Lin Congyun frowned. Did she take the wrong road?

That shouldn’t be the case. She followed exactly the route Niu Qigu told her. How could she be wrong?

Just as Lin Congyun was wondering, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

Lin Congyun was startled and quickly found a big tree to hide behind.

Just as she hid, she saw a group of people holding torches walking past her, talking about something.

"Did that person just run this way?"

"It should be. I saw it with my own eyes."

With the light of the torches, Lin Congyun could see the group of people clearly. They all looked ferocious, holding swords and sticks in their hands. It was obvious that they were not good people.

After the group of people walked away, Lin Congyun came out from behind the tree. The clothes of the group of people just now were very similar to those who chased him last night. They must be in the same group.

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun became even more worried and quickened his pace.

After walking for a while, Lin Congyun finally came out of the forest and saw the fire in the village from afar, so she hurried over.

At this time, the village was in a mess, with burned houses everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Lin Congyun's heart sank suddenly and he quickly started looking for him in the village.

However, she searched the entire village and did not find a single living person. She only found a few corpses that had been burned beyond recognition and their original appearance could no longer be recognized.

I don’t know where Li Hongsui ran to.

However, there is something strange. Apart from the few people I just met, there is not a single person in the entire village. Could it be that those people have left?

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Lin Congyun.

"Who is where?"

Lin Congyun turned around and looked over. These people were the ones he had just met, no more than six people.

"Why did you guys burn down our village?"

Lin Congyun transformed herself into an old woman from the village and sat down on the ground, crying and cursing at them.

"Old man, you are from the village. That's great. I haven't killed enough of you yet."

One of the men said this, raised his sword and slashed towards Lin Congyun.
